+BUILDING THE KERNEL
+
+ In CyanogenMod 9, kernel building is now integrated into the Android Build
+ System and building through the Android Build System is the only supported
+ method of building the kernel.
+
+ Run the following command in the root directory of your Android tree to
+ build the kernel. (Replacing galaxysmtd with your build target.)
+
+ make -j4 out/target/product/galaxysmtd/boot.img
+
+ The resulting boot.img will be stored at
+
+ out/target/product/galaxysmtd/boot.img
+
+ And the kernel modules will be stored at
+
+ out/target/product/galaxysmtd/system/lib/modules/
+
+ Note: If you are building the entire system image, there is no need to
+ manually build the kernel. Building the kernel is fully integrated
+ into the Android Build System. This instruction is provided in case
+ you need to build only the kernel.
+
+ For more info, please see
